SAS Institute publishes current (and possibly prior) versions of SAS documentation online at http://www.sas.com/. You must register to view the documents (more corporate idiocy from our favorite source).

Google generally turns up samizdat versions of documentation available unencumbered, though you can't count on these being available long-term. I'd suggest grabbing a copy of same if you find it and saving it to a local system or webserver under your own control, except of course, that might be a copyright violation.

SAS documentation _should_ be installed at your site. Of course, you're not always at your site when you need to reference it.
